A humanist sans-serif by Juan Pablo del Peral that extends the calligraphic warmth of the Alegreya family into a sans-serif suited to extended reading.

About

Sharing its proportions and rhythmic energy with the Alegreya serif, this design carries a visible calligraphic influence through its modulated strokes and organic construction. It covers Latin, Cyrillic and Greek scripts across seven weights with italics, making it unusually capable for a free family. The result reads comfortably at text sizes while retaining enough personality for display use.
